Abstract

We answer to a problem raised by recent work of Jelonek and Kurdyka: how can one detect by rational arcs the bifurcation locus of a polynomial map \({\mathbb {R}}^n\rightarrow {\mathbb {R}}^p\) in case \(p>1\). We describe an effective estimation of the “non-trivial” part of the bifurcation locus.
